Still we cannot withhold the following-- which is indeed and in truth A TALE OP HORROR. From the Connersville (Inds.) Watchman of April 2. - HELLER, THE MURDERER. Our readers will recollect that we recent ly published a communication from the Post Master of Liberty, in Union county, giving au.occount of the murder of a whole family t county,in the latter part of February di 641* the husband and father. Isaac the murderer, had his trial last week, in "the Union Circuit Court, on an indictment for murdering his wife Elizabeth: was found guilty - by a jury, and sentenced by the court lobe hung on Friday the 29th inst. between the hours of twelve, noon and three, P. M. Tue grand jury likewise found indictments against him for the murder of his three chile drew John Wesley, Sarah; and Mary. • The prisoner was prosecuted by Brown and Perry, and defended by Ray and Park er. The trial came on on Wednesday morn. ing., and was not concluded until near one o'clock on the next morning. The jury were out about an hour,and brought in their verdict a little before 3 o'clock in the morn ing. On Thursday, after the'court conven ed, an unsuccessful motion was made to ar rest the judgment and procure a new trial— and on Friday morning the sentence of the court was pronounced by Judge Bigger. We say, without any qualification, that these murders and the attendant circumstances constitute the most extraordinary case that we havii;eyer witnessed or heard of. We have notleistire to set down fur our readers, at this time, the jletails of the case, with that minuteness which its magnitude and atrocity deserve. The defence of insanity was set up,and numerous instances of insani ty, both in this state and Pennsylvania were positively proven, both by physicians who had attended the prisoner and by other intel ligent and respectable individuals. It was shown that he murdered a child in Dauphin county, Pennaylvania,under the most appall ing oircumstauces,-and had been acquitted upon the ground of insanity. This fact Wulf proven by a witness who was personally awaroof it. The circumstances connected with that murder were detailed by another witness, as he had heard them from the prisoner himself, in a conversation ,had with in October Inst. They were, in short, Iftepritoner was living in the family of rentve, in which family there was like- Tng a little girl about ten years of th*had been taken out of the par: tat 4 4441410 evening, Heller, who ih t on_ kmwe by the naive of Young,com• begt4 unwell and expressed fears • THE. GETTYSR of going to his chamberto bed. The gen- tleman and lady of the house persuaded and importuned him much and until a late hour, before he would consent to retire. At length he consented to go. As he was passing up stairs, he heard footsteps following him on the-stair way: he passed on however, took off his clothes, and got into bed, in the same room where the little girl was sleeping. Immediately upon getting into bed, the door he had entered, openeda person_en• tored—shut the door, turned round with his back against the door, and stocd gazing at him. Heller was greatly alarmed—but he sprung from his bed and made at the person, exclaiming. "The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!" He grasped at the apparition, but it was gone. He then wheeled round, jumped upon the bed where the little girl lay, and commenced beating her in the most furious manner. The gentleman and lady below, hearing the exclaination,ran up stairs and rescued the child. Heller ran down stairs, and whilst he, was procuring an axe, the three others ran down and fastened themselves up in a lower room. Heller broke down several doors to find them; and whilst he was breaking down the door of the room in which they had taken refuge, the gentleman and lady escaped through a win• dow. He entered the room and leaning down at the window to ascertain from the sound of their retreating footsteps which way they were fleeing, lie heard soft breath ing, and looking under the bed he found the little girl hid under it. He immediately went up stairs—took his pocket knife from his pantaloons—returned—pulled the little girl from her hiding place, and severed her head from her body with. his knife. After detailing the'iibove to the witness, Who was his near neighbor, he went on to say that he had long had it in his mind to kill his own family—"but" says he, "I have not as yet quite brought my mind to do it— if I should, I think it very likely I should come right offend kill you and your fiimily." The above murder was perpetrated some five or six years ago. Heller then after his enlargement, came off to this country—to Union county, Indiana. Nothing extraor dinary appeared in his conduct for soinethin a like two years. In the mean time he had married a respectable young woman, by whom he had the three children lie has mur dered together with their mother. It is riot known that the least difficulty had ever oc curred between him and his family. The wife and children were fond of hire, and he of them. His fondness for his oldest child, John Wesley, was peculiarly noticed by the neighbors. The first symptom of insanity noticed in this country was about three years ago, by a young man who was going home with him on a Sabbath Evening,frorn a meeting they had attended in Liberty. The young man noticed something very extraordindry in his manner—and was much affi.cted. At length he asked him what was the matter. He re. plied in effect that a superhuman influence or inspiration was upon him. Soon after he became very much exercised on religious subjects—joined himselfto the United Breth ren—took a part in their meetings,and made frequent efforts to preach. He was soon left destitute of most of the little property he brought with him to this country—neg lected to provide for his family—but person. ally he was never known to treat them roughly. Witnesses stated that for several days at a time, during the last two or three years, he would act like a wild man or a raving maniac—During that time he was twice ta. ken into the care of the overseers of the poor and kept for some time as an insane person. On those occasions, the physicians pronounc ed him insane—but his malady soon yield ed to their prescriptions and 'treatment.-- During the last six months he has almost entirely neglected to provide for his family, who were during the time, with hint, taken care of by the charity of the neighbors. He would chop a little wood and place it on the fire, and then sit by it for hours at a time by night and day, with his head down, apparently in a deep study: Thus sitting he was in the habit of picking his finger nails, and sometimes the flesh of his hands, until the blood would come. He sat thus appa. rently taking no notice of what was passing —with his head down, picking his fingers, during the whole time of his trial. He has frequently of late expressed to his wife and some neighbors, great horror of the poor houss—stating that he would rather die than be separated from his family. Although his conduct was thus singular during the last six months, it was not sup posed that he was insane. He talked but little, yet that little seemed rational enough. On the morning of the murder of his family a neighbor called in to see him, and found things looking much more cheerful than usual. Heller scented much more free to talk, and did talk considerable about his feeling much better than he had for some time past, and about renting some land and going to work on it. The neighbor left in the family with whom was living a sister of the wife, a little girl about nine or ten years of age. After he had been gone, a man passed along the road by the house whom Heller watched carefully until he had gotten out °Night: -The wife and mother was sit ting by the fire, with a sun bonnet on, nurs• ing her infant, about a month old. Heller took his axe from under the bed, went to the fire, turned round and commenced rubbing the.finaers of one hand over the edge. His wife asked hint what he was going to do— he replied he was going to chop some wood. About this time the woman told the children to get some apples out from under the bed. The two little ones immediately crawled under the bed and the little sister-in-law stood near the bed looking at Heller. She 611 W him raise the axe and strike his wife one full blow about the chin and neck: Sore. mg this she sprang to the door—threw it open and fled for the nearest neighbor's be tween a quarter and a hall mile off crying murder as she ran. After she had fled Como two hundred. yards, she saw Heller come RG STAR eir, REPUBLICAN BANNER. round the end of the house and took after her. Heller states that after he had despatched his wife he went out of the house and looked leiter the little girl—that he then went back into the house—his little boy came towards him, when he split him down and chopped hia, head off. He then dragged his little daughter Sarah out from under the bed— placed his foot upon her breast; she raised her hands for protection and at the first blow he cut (011ie fin g ,,s of one hand and nearly took off her head. He then went and roll• ed the mother off of the infant on which she had partly fidlen, and cut its head off: He then fled. There were several inches of snow on the ground. His first steps from the door were to one side in the untrodden snow, and were distinguished from their being made with bloody feet. The witnesses thought from the tracks through the snow that he must have retired from the house about as fast as he could run. Alter going about 150 yards he fell down--the bloody prints of both his hands put out to protect the full, being fund in the snow. He kept up his rapid flight some quarter of a mile, having stopped several times, as seemed from his tracks, and looked back. Having reached the highway, he took that; and appeared to have walked from that time on. He followed the road about three quarters of a mile, then teok off into a lane —followed that a short distance--took through a small strip of Woods and again en teredthe highway—and deliberately travell ed on—it being a southerly direction from his house, six or seven miles, when he was overtaken. He made no resistance to the apprehension, and returned without objec lion. He confessed the whole matter, ex pressed no regrets, and assigned no cause for the bloody deed, nor has he ever assigned any particularly, that we are aware of. He went back and looked upon the mangled bodies of his wife and children, calmly, de • liberaiely, and without a sign of the least emotion. He then talked and has continued ever since to talk about the matter when in terrogated, without the least hesitancy or compunction. He thus talked about the matter but a day or so betbro the trial--in the presence of physicians who knew him and had attended him when he was acknowl• edged insane, hut who declare that they think him sane at the last interview. Such is we believe an accurate statement of this most bloody, inhuman and unprece• dented case, as we understand the testimony detailed upon the trial. Much given in ev►• dente is of necessity omitted, but the view presented is, so far as we are able to give it, a fair one. Much excitement has prevailed for miles around the scene of this horrid ransaction. The jury which tried the case was probably as intelligent and respectable a one as could have been had in the county. Their verdict and the judgment of the court seems to have satisfied the country—all the circumstances being considered. Nearly all, however, who know any thing about the case, regard it as incomprehensibly myste rious. Many who know the most about it, say they hardly know how or what to think of it. It is doubted whether the annals of crime can produce a parallel case, and it is devoutly hoped they never may! BURNING OF TIIE EAGLE POWDER MILLS. —The St. Louis (Mo.) Republican of the 15th ult. states that about nine o'clock the previous night a fire was discovered to be raging in the direction of the Eagle Powder Works, about a mile below that city, and thnt the whole establishment, except the drying house, was destroyed. A Duko of Brunswick lately drew his sword at the Theatre and killed a scene shifter,who out of mischief, drew up (he cur tain suddenly, and exposed the Duke to the audience, kissing an actress of the name of Methfessel. —tea 0 i:m.....- - - ST. Louts.—The last number of the St. Louis Bulletin gives a most flattering de. scription of the prosperity of that place.-- During the week ending April lt I th, the number of emigrants and strangers that landed in that city exceeded 50001 The larger portion of these were unable to obtain accommod !lions at the hotels and boarding houses, and were reduced to the necessity of taking board and lodgings at the various steamboats which happened to be in the port at the time. So rapid is the increase of the population and business of the place, that stores and dwellings cannot be erected fast enough to meet the demand for them; the hotels are altogether inadequate to the ac commodation of the vast multitude of stran gers that are daily arriving in the city. The Bulletin says there is probably no city in the U. States where a greater equivalent is offered for labor than in St. Louis. We would suggest to some of our mechanics the expediency of pushing for that country,' where labor meets with a lib&ral reward,in stead of subjecting themselves to suffering here in the attempt to wrest from employers what is deemed an adequate recompense for their labor.—Batt. -Trans. THE THAMES TUNNEL.—This stupen dous work has been resumed. A new shield has been constructed, which weighs 150 tons, at an expense of E7OOO. The length of the tunnel has been already extended 18 inches. Of the £30,000 advanced by the government, £lB,OOO remained in hand af ter paying for the new shield, In the last year 27,000 persons had visited the tunnel, and the sum received was 41487: which is an increase upon the receipts of the preced ing year. It is now confidently believed that withAiast experience the work has the hest prospect of being brought to a satisfac tory termination.—lbid. The Boston Morning Post says, there have been exported from that pelt since March 26, $212,227 in specie, more than has been imported. This, added to former esnoltations, makes about 8430,000 expel.. ted, more than imported, since the first day of March, .Igricalture, the dlechanic .!Iris, Internal Improvement, • and General .I.lisceliiio CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.-It IS a maxim in life, ¬ in jurisprudence, that "circumstances cannot lie." But how near they can approach to the overt act of hear ing false witness, even when the hazard is life, has been proved in many instances.-- The following recent case of circumstantial evidence, leading to an untrue result, is from the United States Gazette: • "On the 22d of Februarylast, a man call ing. himself .109EP11 TYNDALL, with an alias or two, "an cld acquaintance" of :he police, was taken before the Mayor of this city, and charged with picking a gentleman's pocket at the Robinson Crusoe Inn 3rd above Ches gait street. After a short examination, he was committed to Arch street Prison, for el further hearing. On the 24th of February, he was brought out, and underwent an ex amination, and was recommitted flur a still further hearing, upon a new charge. In March, he employed council, who with a writ of habeas corpus took him before a magistrate and entered bail in 81,000 for his appearance at a stated time. lie then left the city on business at Pittsburg, and was immediately, upon his arrival t here,ar. rested upon the charge of robbing the Pitts. burg Bank, on the 20th February. Court being then in session, he was put upon his' trial at once; two witnesses swore positively to his identity, and the jury without leaving the box, found him guilty of burglary! as charged. Tyndall made oath that he was in this pity on the day of the robbery; and begged judgment to be suspended till an an swer could be received from the authorities here, which was granted, and it was discov ered, as we have stated, that at the time of the robbery, he was lying safe in Arch St Prison In almost every case, those editors of pa pers who have been particularly noisy in their opposition to ihirßaak of the United States, as chartered by our legislature, have neither published the Relief Bill itself--nor the Governor's veto message ...yen the Gi rard Bank—in the latter of which, an able view of the subject is taken and its advanta• ges fully set lOrth. As public documents of great general interest, it would he sup posed that their publication would not he de nied, unless from a fear of producing the conviction amongst "the fixithful" that the Bank is not the terrible monster which it has been described. Information on the subject, is much dreaded by the opponents of the measure.—Carlisle Herald. A SommtsP.T.—The Boston Patriot of Friday says--"A lad engaged in cleansing a second story window in WaAington street, yesterday, accidentally fell upon the brick pavements, from a height of fourteen feet, turning a somerset as he fell. Ho mime. diately picked up his cloth, returned to his station, and resumed his occupation." It is stated in a letter from one of the Texian officers, that Col. Crockett, after• firing his piece until the Mexicans had ob tained possession of the fort at San Antonio, clubbed his musket and died with it in his hands, after killing twenty-five of the ens my. A NEW COUNTY. --A t the late session o the Legislature in this State, a new County was formed out of Northampton, Pike and Wayne. It is called Monroe—the seat of justice to be located at Stroudsburg, a flour ishing village near the Delaware. The Governor of New York has npprov ed and signed the hill to aid in the construe tion of the New York and Erie Rail Road SILK CULTURE.—Four gentlemen of Lancaster, Penn. have associated for the culture of silk, and have already procured four thousand white mulberry trees, by way of commencement. The Lancaster Jour nal states that there is another company of citizens about to embark in the same under taking; as, also a number of individuals, of that vicinity, as soon as their seedlings are fit to transplant. The silk culture is evi dently destined to go-ahead in this country. The citizens of Detroit have taken the entire stock of the Detroit and Maumee Rail Road—a capital of $500,000. Jumus.--We find the following para- graph in a late London paper: In the lihrary of the Duke of Bucking ham, at Stowe,is deposited a hox containing papers, which are secured with three seals, said to he those of the late marques of Buck ingham and the late lord Grenville, and the Right Honorable Thomas Greenville. The contents of the box are understood to be the manuscript letters of, and documents relat ing to "Junius." THE LAND BILL.—The National Intel- ligencer of Wednesday last says--M r. CLAY addressed the Senate yesterday in support 6f-his great measure—the bill to distribute among the several States the nett proceeds of the sales ofthe Public Lands. We thought, after hearing the able and comprehensive arguments of Messrs. EWING, Sou'ruAun, and WHITE, in favor of this beneficiela measure, that the subject was exhausted; that at any rate,but little new could be urged in its defence. Mr. CLAN., however, in one of the most luminous and forcible arguments which we have ever heard him deliver, placed the subject in new lights, and gave it newclaims to favor. He was not only strong and eloquent, as he ever is, but he wasclear and perspicuous in the most complex parts of his argument. Indeed, the whole train of his reasoning appeared to us a series of demonstrations;. and we cannot conceive how any mind open to conviction could have listened to it unconvinced. A large portion of the members of the other House, we were glad for their own sakes,were present during the whole 'speech; and the galleries were crowded In excess by great numbers of la dies as well as gentlemen. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE LATE FROM ENGLAND. The London packet ship Westaiinster, Capt. Moore, arrived at New York on Mon day. She brings London papers to the evening of the 17th and Plymouth to the I9th. In Spain liberal principles have triumpl - ed in the election of Deputies to tile Cortez. No question of general importance has occupied the attention oftho British Parlia ment- The strength of the present ters in the House of Commons seems on the ncrelse. A reduction of the Stamp Duty on News papers is contemplated; this duty is at pres. out 4d sterling a sheet with a do duction of 20 per cent. It rs proposed by Ministers to reduce this duty to one penny a sheet with. out any deduction. The Committee of the [louse of Com mons appointed to investigate the charge of bribery and corruption against Mr. O'Con nell in the Callow election, had made a re port exculpatory of that individual. The Citadel at Plymouth had been des• troyed by fire, nod the town Mayer aged 70, and his twodaughters, aged 23 and 15 per isl►ed in the flames. . The son of the Duke of Coburg, who is about to espouse the young Queen of Portu• gal, had arrived in London on his way to Lisbon. In the French Chamber of Deputies, the motion for the political amnesty. extending to the ministers of Charles X. was 10-t by a large majority, the minister of Justice having opposed it on the ground that to ori• ginate acts of g race is the prerogative of the crown. The reduction oft ho five per cents, which question brought about the dissolution of the ministry of the Duke do Broglie, had been adjourned, M. Thiers, the present President of the Council, having stated that the govermnent adopted the principle of re duci.ig the interest on the debt one•tenth, imr: that a bill on the subject would be intro• duced at the commencement of the session of 18:-17. The appropriations for the in crease of the French Navy had been voted with great unanimity. This increase was made, it is supposed, with a view to the en croachments of Russia upon Turkey. In reference to this latter subject, the fi l. lowing important proposal is said to have been made by Englund: "The British Government had made ap. plieations to the Russian Government tier the evacuation of Silistria and offered its guar antee, on the surrender of this fortress to the Sultan's troops, fur the payment of the remainder of the war indemnity at present owing by Turkey to Russia." ft is also stated that the British Govern ment had ordered a diplomatic envoy to pro. ceed to Cracow, to report on the causes which had led to .the occupation of that little Republic, in violation of the treaty of Vienna. From Spain, ns usual, the accounts are very contradictory. On the whole,however, the adherents of Don Carlos continue to show themselves in great force. M. 111endizahel, the present Prime Minister of the Queen, continues to exert himself to sustain the fin antes and credit of the Country. His popu larity is undiminished. Some apprehensions are expressed that the now legislative bodies will be of a jacobinical character,and in that case, it is said Louise Philippei has ordered the French Minister, M. Ruynovnl, to quit the Spanish capitol. The British Minister, Mr. Villiers, still continues to exercise great influence at Madrid. He has procured the dismissal of the officers who countenanced the cruelties committed upon some Carlist prisoners. The British legion in .pain has• suffered severely from an epidemic disorder. ONE DAY LATER FROM EITROPE.—The packet ship Poland, Capt. Anthony, from Havre, arrived at New York on Tuesday evening—she brings a London paper of the esti ning of the 18th March, one day later than before received. There is no further political news of portance unless it be the final appointment of a new Spanish Ministry. Lommx, (Evening,) March 18. An express has arrived frmn Madrid this morning, with dates to the 11th instant. The Ministry is settled:—Senhor Me•ndi zabal was to be Minister of Finance, and Isteriz Foreign Nhnister and President. The Cortes were to assemble on the 2:ld VERY LATE FROM ENGLA\D•-BV the packet ship Europe, Capt. Nlarshall, files to March 19th, inclusive have been received. The rep in of the Ecclesiastical Commis sion had been made to both houses of Parli ameut, and been well received. O'Connell has been fully acquitted. The army estimates are reduced by a sum o f E,93,000. The Marquis of Londonderry received a severe rebuke in the Lords, from his quon dam friend, Wellington, on the subj.•ct of Spain. The Irish municipal bill is making great progress in the committee. The Chancellor of the Exchequer an nounced his intention of introducing a bill for the removal of Jewish disabilities. After two nights hard debate, the Com• mons rejected Lord F. Egaton's proposal that the Irish municipal corporations should be totally abolished. The ministers were on the vote. For the amrntlment, For the ministers, Majority for the ministers, The alleged ground of ohjoction to the ministerial bill was that it would throw too much power into the hands of the Catholics. The Lords will strangle the measure—if they ita re. Last Wednesday, the American charge d'Affaires (Mr. Vail?).was presented to and received by the King of the French. INTERESTING FROM ',TEXAS. TEXAS.—The Louisville Journal of Ap' fa, I tit li, says that Col. Lewis, a Commissioner of Texas, delivered an address to the people of that place the day previous, and among other things reported that Santa Anna had. written a letter to an influenti4:=':lVltenean living on the Sabine, near Fort Jettatip,.urg ing him to stimulate the Indians in hie iseigh borhoud against the Texiitos, and to promise. them all (Le Texian lards, it they would. aid in exiernimatim, the inhabitants; and, Ms° directing him to use means to excite a re bellion among the stares in Louisiana a gainst their wasters and to pronii , e thero . high rewards if they would join the Indians against the Tex ians. The original letter in Santa Anna's handwriting fell into the pos. sessiou of Col. Manny of the U. S. Garrison at Fort Jessup, and was by him transmitted to the Government of the U. S. at Wash ington. The Louisville Journal says,"there can he no mistake as to these facts, Col. M. stated them in person to Gen. C. Childress, the Minister from the Teman Convention to Washington City, and Mr. Childress stated thorn to our inforinant, Col. Lewis."

The latest accounts from grin stated that he was making his way into the settlements, be tween the San Antonio and Gandoloupe riv ets, towards Colima). On the same night, in the town of Waloope, three of our citi zens were murdered by the Mexican citi zens. Dr. Harrison, (son of Gen. W. H. Harrison, of Ohio,) was among the number of these unfortunate victims. The following cheering paragraph is from 31obile Chronicle of the I:3th: "A letter has just been received in this place from Col. J Durington, dated March 25, which states that the inhabitants on the Brassos above San Felipe,had secured their families by placing them 'on the east of Trinity. That the panic was over; every man able to bear arms, was rushing to join Houston. That Santa Anna had let the important hour slip, and that the people had become confident that they would be able shortly to expel the invader from Texas. For several days previous to the date of the letter, nothing had been heard of the Mexi can army; that Santa Anna had either re treated, or was endeavoring to make a flunk movement on Houston." We have just received the copy ofa letter from Brazoria, unA:r date of 24th March, which speaks of "all the settlements situated between the river Nueces and Los Brazos, (San Felipe de Austin included) as overrun by the Nlexican troops, who gave no quar ter to those taken Wi t h arms in their hands." It also communicates the copy of an impor tant decree of Santa Anna, emancipating all slaves carried into Tr.xas in violation of t h e l aws of Mexico. It should be added that the accounts from that country evince a pretty hopeless state of affairs for the in surgents.— /V. Y. American.

FREEMAN CONVICTED.-AVe learn from the Annapolis Republican that the trial of JAMES FREEMAN, on three several indict ments, one of which charged him with an attempt to rob the Merchant's Bank of Bal. tiinore, by breaking through the wall, has resulted in his conviction in each case. We regret to perceive, by the New Or leans papers, that Dr. HARRISON, a Hon of' Gen. - Win. licsnit ElauntsoN, of Oli:o,was murdered on the 11th ult., with three other Americans, by the Mexicans, in the town of Waloope, Texas. We learn that the Third Presbytery of• N. York, after a long deliberation on the case of Rev. J. R. NleCtowall, (late Editor of "McDowell's Journal," &c.) decided on Wednesday last, to suspend him from the minist y. The three charges of• unchristian and utimmisterial conduct, intentional mis representation, and slander, were sustained unanimously, though there was some diver sity of opinion as to several of the snecifica• lions under these charges.—/V.

During his temporary ab sence, the executive duties will devolve on Mr. WALKER, the Secretary of the Terri- MIND TOUR DOTS. -A Kentucky mem ber of Congres s wished to write to his wife on arriving at IVashington city; that he had "'brined a connexion with a very agreeable Mess, and expected to spend the winter very pleasantly." Unfortunately arid greatly to the surprise and mortification of the good lady to whom he was writing, he inadver• thinly dotted the e in the word Mess. A company, with a capital oftwo millions of dollars. has been formed, for the purpose of building up a city on the eastern side of Mobile Bay, as a rival to that city. It is thought that it will possess many natural advantages over Mobile, particularly in the superior depth of the water at its wharves CRUELTY IN TILE BRITISH AnMir-.—A late London paper contains a detailed account of an Inquest held on the body of a marine, who was flogged very severely by order of a Court Martial, and died shortly after.— Cases of this description are by no means rare on the other side of the water. The deceased was guilty of disobedience of orders in- refusing to go through the "long drill," a minor sort of punishment to which he was sentenced. He was accordingly tried and sentenced to receive two hundred lashes, which were commuted to half the number. A Surgeon swore that his death was not oc casioned by the punishment, but by the ef fects ofa fever—and another, on being in terrogated, said the man would have died of the fever even it he had not been flogged! According - to this evidence the poor wretch was at death's door when they commenced lashing him. The jury, says the paper be :fore us, were at first inclined to return a verdict contrary to the evidence adduced, • but eventually thirteen agreed in opinion that the deceased died ''by the visitation of God!"

Aug. %Valiles undertook to deliver a lecture on the "Bible views of Slavery" in the New. Lisbon cou rt house. A set of friends of slavery went to excite disturbance, unin formed (as their leader stated he was) wheth er the diseourse was to be fir or against a bo• lition, but alarmed at the nut ice that it was the "Bible view" of the subject. Mr. De Lonna Brooks their spokesman demanded to know what was Mr. Wattles object—said "if it was to introduce slavery into Ohimhe was willing to hear it discussed; but if it was any thing else regarding the subject he should oppose it!" Mr. Wattles and those who wished to hear him were finally obliged to retire to the Friends meeting house,where he delivered his lecture. Thus we find that every one is at liberty to advocate any manifest evil he chooses, because no one suspects that it can make converts; the great danger in all times has been in declaring the truth. As the old pro verb says "Nothing cuts like the plaguey truth." Two or three years ago an avowed infidel was allowed in that very Court House to hold 'forth—opposing and ridiculing christianity. Be it so—every system of froth can boar free discussion, and must of course be even bet ter established by it; but why should those who dreaded to hear the "Bible view" of slavery be so singularly tolerant to the preaching of infidelity? The Mr. Brooks who ministered to the spirit of mobism on the late occasinn,is stat ed to be a royal arch mason; and from the N. Lisbon Aurora's aceount,masoury seems to have been the moving spirit. The editor °ldiot paper states that he was infiirmed by Ezekiel Birdseye, Esq. of Cincinnati, "that free negroes are kidnapped by masons"— and as it would appear extensively; so that the handmaid may have a more direct in. terest in opposing the abolition s% stein, than what arises merely from her fear of free dis cussion. One of the results of this mob seems to have been, that the New-Lisbon Aurora,an excellent Anti-Masonic anti-slavery paper, which had been stopped; has been revived again with renewed spirit. Thus may it over be.—Pittsburgh Times. . GRAIIAMISM.-M uch has lately been said about Mr. Graham and his lectures on diet, and much more is likely to be said, as his system has become the subject of controver sy. A writer in the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal,alter ironically associating the name of Graham with those of Wash- ington and Franklin, gives several instances of persons who, having adopted the vegeta• ble diet recommended by the lecturer, be. came insane. Now it is difficult to conceive at simple abstinence from animal lbod,cat produce mental injury; for though a person who has been accustomed from infancy to its ;Ise, may feel some temporary weeny°. nience and weakness, yet such is the power of the human stomach to Wept itself to a change, that he will soon, judging by analo gy, become so inured to the new diet us to have us good health and strength as before. Exeeptiona to this, as to other general rules there may be; but supposing that bodily weakness were the inevitable result, does it thence follow that mental aberration would ensue. Few pathologists, we apprehend, will maintani such a doctrine; so that though we are no advocates of dl r. Graham, we do not think nu rSelLes justified in condemning his system on account of the cases brought against it. they not being sufficiently numer ous, nor sufficiently detailed to enable us to form a judgment Generalization from few particulars is a common error,burone which should be carefully guarded against, as it has led to great practical evils.[Lialt.
